BIN files.

[Tulare]

Say a "friend" of mine downloaded a video of some kind and it's actually a BIN file. How the hell do I...does my "friend" get this to play. Is it just garbage?

just say it, you downloaded a movie, who cares.

anyway, a BIN file is a CD image, however it can not be used by itself (because it's a movie, you may be able to use Videolan (www.videolan.org) which can read them directly.) you need a CUE file, you can make one with this (http://www.dslreports.com/r0/download/288918~1e45059000cfc371c157f544cc5aef07/MakeCue.zip)

You can use Alcohol 120% to mount the image on a virtual CD drive, Or burn the image to a cd.

Alcohol has a free trial.

Thanks guys, but ugh, not worth it. Spending the money and expending less effort seems to be my way.

Google did have a lot of info on it BTW.
